Oh dear Dave again

[64]

Statement from Matlock Town owner David Hilton

[ironfromafar]

Oh dear .. dodgy convicted criminal Dave preaching about honesty and integrity really does take the biscuit, probably this Adam Drury guy did a bit of research on Mr Hiton and decided to jump ship even though he had already signed a contract.
Hilton with his well documented past should not be allowed anywhere near a football club , how he keeps passing the fit n proper checks is another weird one.

Feel sorry for MTFC

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

No sympathy unfortunately.

Can’t there being enough interest locally to rescue the club either.

[Deereyme66]

Been in ‘end game’ mode for weeks. Something’s triggered it is my bet. The heat’s on. Keep moving.

[64]

I have several issues with the current board around fan engagement ,but I still hold them in high regard for rescuing us from this guy’s calamity

Best line “ unfortunately this is football “, well it is when you have anything to do with it 😂

[Siderite]

He’s always quickly jumping ship soon into projects. Yet he definitely has the money, he showed Simon Elliott an email!

[Awaywego]

It’s a no lose situation for their fans, the fan run club as before couldn’t afford to fund the club especially in the league they are in now.
With his funding they are.
If he moves on they’ll just be another club asking to be relegated to a lower league.
Their fans seem happy, well at least with honest Dave.

[Siderite]

It’s all going to pot for Dave’s new project, as it was always going to, but we can always trust AWG to come to dodgy Dave’s defence.

[Siderite]

I wonder what Graham’s story is. Always someone else’s fault wih Dave.

[Awaywego]

Wasn’t it Matlock (the fan board at the time) who approached Honest Dave for funding in the first place or am I wrong.
Like I say no lose for their fans.

[Deereyme66]

Not sure if they approached him or not. Seem to recall he magically appeared like Mr Benn.

[Deereyme66]

In no way related of course, but interesting reads all the same…

English football’s money laundering challenge

[Awaywego]

Should Scunny not seek to open a barbers shop and convenience shop down at the ground to solve our finances.
Michelle’s always harking about we need increase revenue streams by using the ground estate more.
Harks on about it but nothing of substance comes forward, unless of course the bank holiday family day is a success lol.

[Deereyme66]

Sports bar?

Just seen the BH family fun day Ad … im sure there has been a few similar events in recent times over Xmas etc and if my old memory serves me well they were total disasters.
not sure about a barbers etc down at AAGP but there must be something that could be brought to the area to attract visitors and enhance any experience.

No DM and Cass before you ask im not thinking of opening the first Scunthorpe Social Spa n Soapy.

[Awaywego]

You really need a home visit IFA.
Barbers are now known for illegal money laundering lol.
Since you’ve left, Frod road and the high street must have 15 or more on the go. And probably more supermarkets renowned for illegal tobacco, drugs and money laundering.

[Iron-awe]

…and forty years ago Frod Road was famous for Wilson’s chippy, how times change.

[Awaywego]

Sadly gone now as well Ironawe just a burger kebab shop now.

[Deereyme66]

‘Barbers are now known for illegal money laundering’

And I thought mine was rarely open because he’s 80 and on dialysis. Turns out he’s a gangster!

[Awaywego]

Bet any money yours is white British and asks if you want anything for the weekend sir.
Funnily enough non of ours are. Couple of them are the real McCoy Turkish barbers with all the steam gear, even offer a nose wax FFS.

[TheJuryeffsOut]

The facts were out there for Matlock to see before they voted for Hilton to take over. It is absolutely no surprise and they were warned.

[Awaywego]

Are they not happy now TJO.

[Awaywego]

Thought maybe something bad had happened. TJO.
Just been on their Facebook page everyone seems to be having a great day, “if carlsberg made Fridays” ” today just gets better and better” “amazing” ” brilliant” “excellent” “fantastic” “Yessss” besides many other statements.
They were warned, warned about what exactly.
Never have I ever seen as gushing a praise for Scunny.

[Siderite]

They seem happy with the managerial decision. Fair enough. I have seen that here with Grezza and even returning players like Conor Smith in January. Doesn’t mean the very valid reasons for us for having suspicions about Dave, except for one who is battling against the tide.

There are plenty of others saying these days are a bit crazy and a bit of a whirlwind too, so it isn’t all so fawning. Some clearly have concerns to some level.

[Awaywego]

Amazing thanks David! Do they mean Mr Hilton surely not!

[MK Iron]

I’m going out on a limb here but I think apart from 4 or 5 posters nobody else on here gives a monkeys what the fraudster is up to at Matlock or anywhere else.

If you are getting giddy at the thought of Dave proving people wrong about him and how he is really such a wonderful owner because he chose a manager that has a fair few Matlock fans saying they are happy with it, then knock yourself out. Even some of them seem a bit taken back by the craziness, but at least they have a manager who has a level of popularity (some on there were saying he is no great shakes, but they go again), No other owner could possibly have done that. Doesn’t change it for those of use, which are the majority here now, that ended up living with his idiotic reign.

[Awaywego]

Make that 24 different posters on the 2 ongoing threads MK, including 2/3 posts from you.

[MK Iron]

3 or 4 of those post numerous negative things about dodgy Dave and one poster does the opposite.

I have probably made the odd post about Positivity Dave, Stuart Maw, Uniity Iron and the Facebook group. Doesn’t mean I either know or much care about any of them.
